Darlington’s Harvey & Hugo works in PR, content and social media marketing – and was founded by Charlotte Nichols in 2009.
She leads a small team and between them they serve a range of North Eastern clients and those from further afield, at the firm named after two dogs, Harvey and Hugo. Industries covered include professional services, food and hospitality, education, leisure and more.
Having moved to home-working with the rest of the Harvey & Hugo ‘Pack’ for the COVID-19 crisis, we found out what Charlotte’s WFH set-up is like, and how it’s slotted in with her lifestyle.
Where in the house do you work?
I don’t have a designated office, so I like to mix it up a bit. I work from the living room first thing, as I can watch the sun rise from where I sit. Later, I move upstairs to my bedroom and work while standing up using a chest of drawers for a desk – it’s not very glamourous, but it’s good for my back.
In the afternoon, I move to the dining room for a sit down at the table, before moving back to the living room in the evening.
Paint a picture for us of the view from your window.
My house is nestled in a beautiful Weardale valley, with hills to either side and lots of fields. My view stretches for miles, with lots of green fields dotted with farmhouses, hundreds of sheep and some woodland in the distance. Closer to home, our neighbours have horses and I often find myself getting distracted by them.
